Future of the I., I. & I. Railway.

Evidence accumulates that the Indian, Illinois A lowa road is to be extended eastward and made a "much more important road than it now is, although now, as a rate disturber, it cuts quite a figure, The belief strengthens that some strong road is behind its aggressive movements, and there is but little doubts it is the Delaware, Lackawanna A Western, and that eventually the three “I” road is to be extended to Buffalo, the present western terminus of the Lackawanna road. This scheme has been talked of for three years, but not until now has it shown any real life. A survey has just been completed from the eastern termini of the three “I” to Plymouth, and it is stated that the surveying corps has now been instructed to push on in a northeastern direction to Goshen, Ind. At this point it would strike a new Wabash line, but it is believed if any of that line is utilized for Detroit or Toledo such arrangement would be but temporary. A belief prevails that within" eighteen months the road will bo completed to connection with the Lackawanna at Buffalo, which it is claimed, would give the Lackawanna a more direct line than any now operated into the heart of the Western States.—-Indianapolis Journal.
